In short: Fantastic race. Loved the new course.
In full: Well organised race. Worth paying extra for closed roads and decent drinks stations. The new parts of the course made for a more interesting run and to cap it all I got a PB.

In short: Glad I cameback for another shot at 26.2miles
In full: I really enjoyed this marathon, although the support is a bit thin in the second half, but the marshalls are fantastic. a very hot day but still managed a PB, so well chuffed.

In short: heat and extra inclines altered the challenge this year but getting expensive.

In short: Apart from parky bit round university, dull scenery, too hot on the day, lots of unsportsmanly or womanly obstruction. Great at the beginning but couldn't wait to get to the finish!

In short: great race pity about the heat on the day!
In full: was my first half marathon and I really enjoyed, worth the trip up to nottingham from London to do it. Those hills were a killer tho but everyone was really great and helped me along when I was having a bit of a tough moment. The tempurature was not the best for running great fr the spectators. All in all I defo think I will do it again but will do more hill work this time.
